When you were a kid you didn't think twice about scarfing the chocolates and other Easter basket goodies.

Well, we adults know that when you eat like a racehorse -- and not a rabbit -- you must pay the price to avoid putting on extra pounds.

To that end, Easter is second only to Halloween in terms of candy sales, according to the National Confectioners Association. TOPS Club, Inc.® (Take Off Pounds Sensibly®), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, advises considering how much you would need to exercise to work off the calories before you dip into a basket of "goodies." Then decide how much you want to indulge and get moving - or grab a healthier treat. Fresh berries or half of a ripe mango sure taste sweet, too.
